GENERAL REGULATIONS 

(From the Rules of the Board of Education) 



Sec. 45. The School Year.) The school year 
shall consist of ten months of four weeks each, 
and shall be divided into three terms, as fol- 
lows : 

Fall Term : Beginning on the first Monday 
of September and continuing sixteen weeks. 

Winter Term : Beginning on the Monday 
succeeding the first day of January and con- 
tinuing sixteen weeks. 

Summer Term : Beginning on the first Mon- 
day in May and continuing eight weeks. 

Sec. 46. The School Semesters.) In admin- 
istering the courses of study in the elementary, 
high, and Normal schools, the school year shall 
be divided into two semesters, one including 
the school months of September, October, No- 
vember, December, and January ; the other, the 
school months of February, March, April, May, 
and June; and, above the primary department, 
regular promotion in the various grades and 
years of all schools shall be made at the end 
of each semester. 

Sec. 47. Holidays.) Schools shall be closed 
on all legal holidays and on the day following 
Thanksgiving Day. By order of the President 
of the Board, any school may be closed on 
other occasions, but not to exceed three days 
in any one year. 

On the afternoon of the school days imme- 
diately preceding Lincoln's Birthday, Wash- 
ington's Birthday, and Memorial Day, suitable 
exercises commemorative of these holidays 
shall be held in the several schools, subject to 
the direction of the Superintendent. 

Sec. 63. Times of Graduation.) The gradu- 
ation exercises for the mid-year classes in the 
public schools shall not occur before Friday 
morning of the last week of the school month 
of January; for end-year classes, the gradua 
tion exercises shall not occur before the close 
of the afternoon session of school on the last 
Thursday of the school month of June; the 
schools shall continue in session until noon of 
the last Friday of the school month of June. 

Sec. 97. Medical Inspection of Pupils.) Pu- 
pils of the public schools shall be subject to 
examination by medical inspectors under au- 
thority of the Department of Health of the 
City of Chicago. 

Sec. 98. Vaccination Before Admission.) A 
pupil shall not be received into any public 
school without furnishing a physician's certifi- 
cate showing that he has been successfully 
vaccinated or otherwise protected against 
smallpox; nor shall a pupil who has not been 
vaccinated, or revaccinated within seven years, 
be allowed to remain in any school, unless he 
has had either smallpox or varioloid. Such 
vaccination certificate shall be preserved on file 



at the school of the principal. When a pupil 
is transferred from one school to another in 
the city, the certificate of vaccination shall 
accompany the transfer card. 

Sec. 99. Permits — Residence in District.) 
Pupils shall attend school in the districts in 
which they reside, except when given permits 
by the Superintendent to attend the schools 
in other districts. 

Questions concerning the legal residence of 
a pupil applying for a transfer from the dis- 
trict in which his parents or guardian resides 
shall be referred to the Secretary. 

Sec. 100. Conduct of Pupils.) Pupils shall 
obey the requirements of their teachers. They 
shall be polite in conduct, truthful and chaste 
in language, and studious during the school 
hours. They shall be punctual in attendance 
and correct in deportment. They shall be quiet 
and respectful in the streets about the school 
premises. They shall not mar, deface, nor in- 
jure in any manner whatever the desks or fur- 
niture of the school rooms, the walls or ceil- 
ings of the school buildings, nor the stairways, 
fences, and outbuildings on school premises. 

Sec. 101. Cleanliness.) Pupils shall be 
strictly required to be cleanly in person and 
dress. Those who fail to comply with this re- 
quirement, or whose clothing needs repair, may 
be sent home to be properly prepared for the 
school room. 

Sec. 102. Books and Equipment.) Pupils 
shall provide themselves with all needed books 
within one week after notice to that efifect 
shall have been given. No pupil shall be per- 
mitted to retain connection with any public 
school unless provided with books and other 
equipment required to be used in the class to 
which he belongs. But no pupil shall be ex- 
cluded for lack of such articles until the par- 
ent or guardian shall have been furnished by 
the teacher with a list of books or articles 
needed, and until one week shall have elapsed 
after the furnishing of such list without the 
necessary provision having been made for such 
pupil. This rule shall not apply in cases where 
parents are unable to provide necessary books 
and equipment. 

Sec. 107. Absence and Tardiness.) Pupils 
who are present less than half of the school 
session shall be marked absent. The bell of 
each school shall ring five minutes before the 
hour for beginning school, by city time, and 
every pupil not in the school room when the 
hour arrives shall be marked tardy. In case 
of absence or tardiness pupils shall bring writ- 
ten excuses from parents or guardians not 
later than the day following such absence or 
tardiness. 

Sec. 108. Temporary Suspension for Ab- 
sence.) Pupils shall forfeit membership in the 
school if absent six half days in four consecu- 
tive weeks without an excuse from parent or 
guardian, given either in person or by written 
note, satisfying the teacher that the absence 
was caused by sickness of the pupil, by sick- 

8 



ness in the family, or by a bona tide desire to 
avoid serious and imprudent exposure, or by 
other unavoidable necessity; and the principal 
of the school shall forthwith notify the parent 
or guardian, and, in special cases, the Superin- 
tendent, of such forfeiture of membership by 
absence. No pupil shall be permitted by the 
principal to resume connection with the school 
until the parent or guardian has furnished the 
necessary excuse or has given satisfactory as- 
surance to the principal, and in special cases 
to the Superintendent, that the pupil will be 
regular in attendance in the future. 

In the application of the foregoing rule, two 
tardinesses shall be regarded as the equivalent 
of one unexcused absence; absence or dismis- 
sal for religious instruction or on a day held 
sacred by the parents shall be counted as ex- 
cused absence, provided a written request for 
such absence or dismissal shall have been pre- 
viously sent by the parent or guardian to the 
principal of the school. 

Sec. 109. Suspension and Expulsion.) Pupils 
may be suspended by the principal for a period 
not exceeding one month, for wilful violation 
of any of the duties of pupils or of any re- 
quirement, for leaving school without permis- 
sion, or for other sufficient cause. In extreme 
cases the Superintendent may suspend pupils 
for a longer period than one month, and they 
may be expelled by a vote of the Board for 
repeated violations of school requirements or 
for gross misconduct. 

Sec. 110. Contagious or Infectious Dis- 
eases.) Pupils affected with any communicable 
disease, or living in any building with persons 
thus affected, shall not be permitted to remain 
in the public schools. 

Whenever a truant officer, medical inspector, 
health inspector, or teacher of a school dis- 
covers that a child is absent from school on 
account of a contagious disease at the home of 
such child, or that a contagious disease exists 
in the house of a child attending school, such 
fact shall be at once made known to the prin- 
cipal of the school, whose duty it shall be to 
exclude temporarily children living in the 
building in which the disease exists, until dan- 
ger of contagion is past. The principal and 
the medical inspectors may adopt such pre- 
cautionary measures as they deem best to pro- 
tect the health of the school children. 

Sec. 111. Prizes and Special Awards.) Pu- 
pils in the public schools shall not be given 
prizes or special awards of any kind, except 
such prizes in the way of scholarship and op- 
portunities for further advancement as may 
be awarded to students in high schools and in 
the Chicago Xormal College. 

Sec. 113. Diplomas of Graduation.) Pupils 
who meet the requirements for graduation in 
the high schools shall receive diplomas certi- 
fying to their completion of the required 
courses of study. 

Sec. 155. Hours of School and Teaching.)

thirty minutes.

them conveniently. 

Sec. 157. Admission.) Pupils who have 
been graduated from the public elementary 
schools of Chicago shall be admitted to the 
high schools without further examination. Pu- 
pils from other than Chicago public schools 
may be admitted by the Superintendent of 
Schools on trial to any grade, on presenting a 
principal's certificate of qualification for such 
grade, such certificate to show that the work 
of the previous grade has been fully made, as 
prescribed in the Chicago Graded Course of 
Study, and that the pupil has been in attend- 
ance at the school from which the certificate 
is issued at least one year. All other candi- 
dates from elementary schools for admission 
to the high school shall be required to pass 
an examination, to be conducted by the Ex- 
aminer near the close of the summer vacation, 
and at such other times as the Superintendent 
may direct. 

Sec. 158. Courses of Study.) The Course 
of Study shall be such as is recommended by 
the Superintendent and approved by the Board 
of Education .

recommended by the Superintendent and ap- 
proved by the Board of Education. 

Sec. 160. College Preparatory Course.) Op- 
portunities shall be given for preparation for 
any college or technical school, if a desire for 
such preparation is made known early in the 
course and at the beginning of a semester. 

Sec. 161. Special Courses.) Any pupils of 
marked ability who shall accomplish any piece 
of valuable work along lines of individual re- 
search within the scope of the high school 
studies, and who shall submit the same, with 
conclusive evidence that the work is "ad- 
vanced" and the results are valuable, the work 
to be done during the last two years of the 
curriculum, shall receive such credit or cred- 
its for this work toward graduation as it shall 
be worthy of in the judgment of the principal 
and teachers. 

Sec. 162. Sequence of Studies.) Pupils shall 
not be allowed to take a study which is a 
natural sequence of one which has not been 
successfully carried. Pupils entering the first 
year shall not be allowed to take more than 
one foreign language, unless able to enter an 
advanced class in the second language. 

Sec. 163. Order of Semesters.) No pupil 
will be allowed to take the second semester 
of any subject until he has taken the first se- 

10 



mester of the subject, unless, in the opinion of 
the principal, the exigencies of the school pro- 
gram render it advisable. 

Sec 164. Semester credits in Commercial 
Studies.) All commercial studies are allowed 
semester credits, but for work in stenography, 
not less than two consecutive semesters' work 
will be accepted. 

Sec. 165. Semester Credits in Other Studies.) 
In foreign languages, in drawing, in music, 
and in physical education, not less than one 
year will be accepted toward graduation. All 
other subjects may receive semester credits. 

Sec. 166. Special Students.) Pupils regu- 
larly admitted to the high schools, who are not 
candidates for diplomas, may, at the request 
of parents or guardians, select any studies 
which are not in advance of their attainments, 
and continue them as long as they maintain 
an average record with the class. 

Sec. 167. Credits for Time Saved.) When- 
ever a pupil or class of pupils shall have com- 
pleted the course in any study in less than the 
average time assigned to that study, such pupil 
or pupils shall receive the full benefit of the 
time saved; and whenever pupils require or 
take more than the average time, such time 
will not be credited in the work required for 
the completion of the curriculum. 

Sec. 168. Promotion.) Pupils shall not be 
permitted to advance from one year to another, 
or to graduate from any of the high schools, 
except by special permission of the Superin- 
tendent, until they have passed a satisfactory 
examination in all the branches pursued dur- 
ing the preceding school year. 

Sec. 169. Monthly Reports.) All pupils in 
the high schools shall receive at the end of 
each half semester reports of their standing in 
scholarship, attendance, and deportment. These 
records shall be signed by the parent or guar- 
dian and promptly returned to the teachers for 
safe-keeping until the end of the semester. 

Sec. 170. Test of Proficiency. )The results 
of occasional tests, written and oral, together 
with the unbiased judgment of the teacher, 
with the approval of the principal, may con- 
stitute the basis upon which proficiency is 
reckoned. 

Sec. 171. Reports of Unsatisfactory Work.) 
Parents or guardians shall be informed once 
in every five weeks, or oftener as occasion may 
arise, when pupils by reason of lack of health, 
capacity, application, or other cause, fail to do 
satisfactory work, and special request shall be 
made for conferences with their parents or 
guardians, for the purpose of lessening the 
number of studies, changing them, or in some 
other way arranging to make the work of the 
school more profitable to such pupils. 

Sec. 174. Graduation Exercises.) Pupils 
shall receive their diplomas and have such 
class day or graduation exercises, or both, as 
the principal thinks appropriate, in their re- 
spective school buildings, unless permitted by 

11 



tke Board of Education on recommendation of 
the Superintendent to go elsewhere; provided, 
that no flowers or presents of any sort shall be 
given to the pupils at their -graduation exer- 
cises, and that every effort shall be made to 
confine the expense incident to such exercises 
to amounts within the means of the gradu- 
ates. 

Sec. 175. Scliolarsliips and other emoluments 
offered by colleges and universities, or by in- 
dividuals, to graduates of the high schools may 
be accepted on their behalf by the Superinten- 
dent, whenever it seems to be for the best in- 
terests of the pupils. 

Sec. 176. Secret Societies.) A secret so- 
ciety is a society whose name, constitution, by- 
laws, ritual, initiation, membership, qualifica- 
tion for membership, insignia of membership, 
meetings, activities are, or any one of which is, 
secret or within the knowledge of the members 
only or intended to be so. 

All persons attending the public high schools 
of the City of Chicago who are members of 
secret societies known as fraternities or sorori- 
ties, existing wholly or in part in any high 
school of the city, and carrying on such activi- 
ties as affect unfavorably the discipline and 
scholarship of the high schools, shall be ex- 
pelled from the public schools. Whenever pos- 
sible, rooms shall be set aside in each of the 
high schools for social use by the pupils, and 
every opportunity shall be granted them for an 
organized social life, membership in which 
shall be open to every pupil in the chool. 

Sec. 176a. It shall be the duty of each prin- 
cipal of a public high school in Chicago, within

of each pupil to write and sign, the following 
statement :

to expulsion, not merely suspension, from the 
high schools; further, if I am e.xpelled I can- 
not gain admission to membership in any pub-

COURSES OF STUDY 



FOUR YEAR COURSES 

Studies are grouped in courses for two pur- 
poses — indicating to parents and pupils the 
studies which best prepare students for any 
particular vocation or profession; and giving 
opportunities for doing more intensive work 
in certain definite lines of eflfort. 

Studies are separated into required and op- 
tional studies. Students must complete satis- 
factorily the required studies and sufficient 
optional studies to make seventeen credits be- 
fore being graduated from any particular 
course. 

Students preparing for college should select 
in addition to the required studies in a par- 
ticular course such other studies as are re- 
quired for entrance to the college of their 
choice. 

See A, B, and C on page 16. 

1. General Course 

The General course is designed for those 
who wish a general education rather than a 
high degree of specialization. It prepares for 
college, for normal, engineering and scientific 
schools, and for business. At the beginning 
of the third year the student may select one 
of the two courses given or he may arrange 
his program according to the requirements for 
the third and fourth years of any other course. 
If he does the latter, he may, and in many 
cases must, substitute elementary work for ad- 
vanced work. 

2. Science Course 

This course fits for the science course in 
any college or normal school, and gives an ex- 
cellent opportunity to students especially inter- 
ested in scientific subjects to pursue them in 
the high school. In this course one and a half 
years' work is offered in each of the following 
sciences : Physiography, Botany, Zoology, 
Chemistry, and Physics. In addition to these, 
one-half year each of Physiology, Geology, and 
Astronomy are offered. To graduate from 
this course a pupil must carry six years of 
science, of which one-half year must be Physi- 
ology. 

By the time a pupil reaches the third year of 
his course he will be expected to decide wheth- 
er his major work is to be in the biological 
sciences or in the physical sciences. A pupil 
must take not less than one and one-half years 
of biological science and not less than two 
years of physical science. 

3. Normal College Preparatory Course 
The purpose of this course is to give the best 
possible preparation for entrance to the Nor- 
mal College. Although it may be possible to 
take other courses leading to the Normal 
College, it is believed that students who de- 
sire a general preparation for Normal training 

13 



should take the course outlined. In case other 
courses are selected, studies required for ex- 
amination for entrance to the Normal College 
must be included. 

4. Commercial Course 
This course aims to give students an edu- 
cation which will prepare them to fill satis- 
factorily responsible positions as clerks, book- 
keepers, or stenographers, or to give a good 
education on general business lines. 

5. Office Preparatory Course 
This is a continuation of the two-year voca- 
tional course in accounting and stenography, 
and offers an opportunity for a pupil to con- 
tinue four years in the high school and make a 
more thorough preparation for office work than 
could be obtained in two years. 

6. Technical Course 
The purpose of this course is to prepare 
students for the technical industries, and for 
normal schools, technical schools, and colleges. 

7. General Trades Course 

This is a four-year vocational course in- 
tended for those who do not expect to enter a 
college of engineering. By requiring but a 
semester in each of the three elementary shops 
and only two academic subjects per year after 
the first semester, it gives opportunity for 
double time in advanced shop-work or in draw- 
ing during the third and fourth years. 

8. Household Arts Course 

This course aims to prepare students to be- 
come efficient home makers and also to prepare 
for lines of work pertaining to household eco- 
nomics or the textile trades. 

9. Arts Course 
This course is designed for students inter- 
ested in freehand drawing, design, arts and 
crafts. 

10. Architectural Course 
This course is planned for those who desire 
to become architects, or to do work in draft- 
ing rooms, and for those desiring a general 
course in mechanical drawing. 

11. College Preparatory Course in Pharmacy 
This course is planned for those who desire 
to take a four years' high school course pre- 
paratory to a college course in pharmacy and 
at the same time to continue their apprentice 
work with druggists. 



TWO YEAR COURSES IN VOCA- 
TIONAL SUBJECTS 

Two-year courses in vocational subjects are 
offered in the high schools for those who do 
not expect or are not able to take a full four 
years' course in the school. Each two years' 
course has a major subject, which receives a 
specially large proportion of time and credit. 
A student pursuing such a course will be re- 
quired to follow it as outlined, in order to be 
well fitted for the occupation into which the 
major subject leads. Studies taken success- 
fully in the two year courses will receive 
credit towards graduation from the four year 
course. In addition to the studies specified in 
the course, a pupil must select sufficient studies 
from the list of optionals to bring the total 
credits for the two years' work up to 8.5. On 
the successful completion of any of the two 
year vocational courses, a certificate (not a 
diploma) will be awarded. 

1. Course in Accounting 
This course aims to give the best possible 
preparation which can be made in two years 
by students who desire to do office work in 
the line of accounting; that is, to keep any 
ordinary set of books or do general office work 
not including shorthand. 

2. Course in Phonography {Shorthand) 
It is believed that students who complete 
this course satisfactorily will be able to fill 
positions as stenographers in an acceptable 
manner. 

3. Course in Mechanical Drawing 
The aim of this course is to give a thorough 
foundation in the principles of instrumental 
drawing. It is believed that students com- 
pleting this course satisfactorily will be well 
fitted to fill positions as draftsmen in machine 
shops or architects' offices. 

4. Course in Designing 

This course aims to give the students the 
elementary principles of design as they are 
illustrated in its application to commercial art 
and craft work. It should fit students to be- 
come designers of garments, of household deco- 
rations, of ornaments, of advertising signs, etc. 

5. Course in Carpentry 

The purpose of this course is to offer stu- 
dents who are not able to spend the time re- 
quired to take a four year course in manual 
training, an elementary knowledge of wood- 
working, with special application to carpen- 
try and cabinet making. 

6. Course in Pattern Making 
The purpose of this course is to give stu- 
dents the principles of pattern making. It is 
believed that students who complete this course 
satisfactorily may, after a brief apprenticeship, 
become expert makers of wood patterns for 
metal castings. 

15 



7. Course in Machine Shop Work 
The purpose of this course is to give stu- 
dents a knowledge of the elementary prin- 
ciples of machine shop practice. 

8. Course in Electricity 
This course aims to acquaint students with 
the elementar}' principles of electricity and 
their application, such as electric wiring and 
testing, the manufacture of electrical appli- 
ances, also finding the cost and the efficiency 
of the same. 

9. Course in Household Arts 
This course aims to fit girls directly to be- 
come housekeepers or to earn a living as 
seamstresses, dressmakers, milliners or in some 
other occupation suitable for women. The 
course requires one year of cooking and one 
year of sewing. 

10. Course in Printing 
The purpose of this course is to give stu- 
dents an elementary training in practical print- 
ing. 

11. Course in Horticulture 
The purpose of this course is to give stud- 
ents an elementary knowledge of care and cul- 
ture of plants as applied to gardening and 
farming. 



A. A full year's work in United States His- 
tory is allowed in any course instead of 
United States History and Civics, if, in 
the judgment of the principal, such ar- 
rangement is preferable ; but in the event 
of this arrangement Civics is recommended 
as an elective subject for another semester. 

B. Students planning to enter Normal Col- 
lege with the intention of preparing to be- 
come teachers of Manual Training, House- 
hold Arts, or Drawing, are required to 
take the full high school course in Manual 
Training, Household Arts, or Drawing, re- 
spectively; and other students are advised 
to take the Normal College Preparatory 
Course. 

C. The following lists (pages 17 to 49) show 
the required subjects in each course, the 
first column of figures giving the number 
of periods per week and the second the 
total amount of credit for the work.
